I was discussing colombian gangs in both chile and argentina and you speak of racism...please, take your ADD medication, focus, re-read your reply and finally edit it so that it follows the subject. thank you. (some people might not like it if you call them racists out of thin air)
let's go back: you started linking immigrants from certain countries with a rise of crime in Chile and Argentina. I replied saying that official crime stats don't support such claim. You asked for a link or source for that claim. I replied with an article that quotes the words of a regional prosecutor from northern Chile who says that, despite immigrants being blamed the most, most crimes there are commited by Chileans (on absolute and relative terms). The article also talks about how immigrants in these parts of Northern Chile are stigmatized and their actions are more visible because they stand out more for cultural and racial reasons (in the case of Afrocolombians or Afroecuadorians). So yes, racism has to do with it, and it's not because I say it, the article says so.
Foreigners and immigrants in Chile are racialized, that's undeniable (the funny thing is that this is pretty much what EricOldTime said in a previous post, and now he is saying nonsense).
So, don't reflect your problems on others, and take your medication, please.

you didn't reply me anymore on that thread btw. I guess you realised that your claims about "Latino culture" were totally absurd and I was right.

I could be "anti-Unitedstatesian", if anything. America is a continent, or the sum or two continents (North America and South America), and I don't have anything against it.

Are you arguing just for the sake of arguing? Americans are called that because THERE IS NO OTHER COUNTRY in the world with the name "America" attached to it besides the US of A
Nisman found dead!? And they claim it was a suicide!? And they think argentines believe it? He was to testify today before congress and implicate Kristina and other members of her administration with regards to a major cover up of Irans involvement in the Buenos Aires terrorist attack of the AMIA

Of course they will! Government will say it's either a suicide or a conspiracy against them and many people will believe this because 'the government killing him would be strategically dumb because it would turn it against them'.

Well if you live in the villas in Boca or Quilmes....yeah of course they'll believe it. Los "K" still have quite a fanatical fan base of support mainly from the ultra dirt poor.
I think she'll be out before the end of the year and before the elections...

because Unitedstatesians are so self-centered and careless that they couldn't find a proper name for their country.
same reason why they are like the only country in the World that doesn't use metric system.
